CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Since I last wrote about the status of some of the new fall shows Oct. 24, we're inching a little closer to all of them finding out their fate. Five more announcements have been made in the meantime.The first came from Fox, which announced the day after that column, that it's picked up "Dads" for a full season. The sitcom's timeslot partner, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," has already been picked up, so now Fox has locked in that 8 p.m. Tuesday hour of comedy for the season.The other new news came last Friday from ABC. It announced full-season orders for its 9 p.m. Tuesday comedy block of "The Goldbergs" and "Trophy Wife" and an additional four-episode order for Rebel Wilson's Wednesday night sitcom "Super Fun Night."The news wasn't as good for fellow Wednesday-night newbie "Back in the Game," which ABC announced it was canceling, despite originally ordering a few extra scripts for it. Still, the remaining seven episodes filmed will air, so at least fans can take consolation in that. (And Maggie Lawson fans can see her when USA's "Psych" airs its special musical episode in December, then returns next year for Season 8.)
